Re: The monsters wakes up ! Katla Hekla Iceland Dead Zone and rift as uniform system ! A lot of others worldwide !

That doesn't sound like good news to me. Moving laterally through old faults or channels. That could lead to fisure type eruptions. They don't know whats going on but lets hope they are wrong about this.

Me too. IMO, the main point now in that, these are micriseisms reflection of some time fluctuations of volumes of magma in various directions, or it sign the beginnings of more global process, details some later.

tremor might be down, but i THINK i am seeing something disturbing. long period events.

I would like to draw in addition attention to some key aspects of discussion.

We see some days real activity of Hekla and Katla.

At first many doubted it, have been then compelled to recognize its presence, and now a main point is as them to interpret. Thus if at first the basic attention has been involved in Katla now, as well as I from the very beginning, have concentrated on Hekla.I will illustrate it with some very interesting and discussion important points.

Hekla microseisms stiil on the yesterday high level [link to hraun.vedur.is] and since yesterday the best minds are occupied by finding-out where magma and what consequences can be flows:

"Carl le Strange says:February 21, 2012 at 23:09Problem I have is that Hekla is doing something unorthodox for being Hekla, and then we are talking about the world record holding volcano on the field of being unorthodox.Hekla is deflating. Magma is rapidly leaving the northeastern half of the volcano (Isakot/Burfell and Hestalda), it is still unclear if it is going south or not.This explains the microseisms recorded now at Mjoaskard, compression as one or more of the magmachambers get deflated.

Carl le Strange says:February 21, 2012 at 23:23It could actually equaly well be motion in the hypthetical subduction zone… Or something else like this.And note, I am note able to plot it out really… I can not really see it clear enough in my poor woolly head to get what is actually happening. As far as I know there are no fissures outside of Heklas fissure, except Litla Hekla

Carl le Strange says:February 21, 2012 at 23:25And that would make an explosive mix if anything… If the Hekla lava met ordinary basalt from Iceland…But very very unlikely and has as far as anyone knows never happened in Heklas history.

Carl le Strange says:February 21, 2012 at 23:28Could though be as simple as it going into some southern resrvoir… and it will have a southern eruption this time around.But, if the deflation continues I will most likely loose my bet without a counterpart.Oh…and here is the link… [link to strokkur.raunvis.hi.is]

Irpsit says:February 21, 2012 at 23:36Hekla magma is being sucked into Katla as she approaching eruption?My immediate wild bet.But not very likely.

Carl le Strange says:February 21, 2012 at 23:47If that had happened Katla would have blown like a bomb…The magmas of Hekla is totally incompatible with any other volcano on iceland and would result in the most disgusting and explosive magma possible…

Let me say it clearly. Heklas magma is produced in a totally different process than any other magma on Iceland. It is produced by pressure melt through subduction. It is not hotspot magma at all."

In the meantime we will remember that as it is known near Iceland there is a border of two lithospheric plates - Euroasian and North American, and that it is a "paper clip" as though connecting them. Thus near to Iceland there is Greenland , and all of us know about catastrophic melting of the Greenland glaciers, that is about strong reduction of its weight pressing on edge of a North American plate. With reduction of this pressure loading of a North American plate aspiring upwards on the "paper clip" middle accordingly strongly increases. Let's look at a chart with borders of tectonic plates and a chart with a chain of volcanoes and fissures (coinciding with them) [link to static.businessinsider.com] Let's look then at a chart coinciding with them recent both flowing quakes and a tremor (microseism)

Very interesting, but there are very disputable details.For example, "Hekla is known to have more than one chamber, as many as nine major chambers has been suggested in various papers. Be that as it may, Hekla has complicated innards, and it seems like magma can run freely between the chambers."

Or it seems not like a lot (really 9? or 12, or more?) chambers, looks more likely as very long whole system?

RSOE's updates for Katla

"Volcanologists warn that if Katla does erupt, the combination of the magma and the large ice sheet covering the volcano could lead to explosive activity and an ash plume for weeks, if not months. " [link to hisz.rsoe.hu]

"There seems to be forming of minor earthquake clusters in Katla volcano caldera. But this has been following growing number earthquakes in Katla volcano caldera during past few weeks. This is most likely an signal of increased activity in next few weeks to months. But the increase does not have to been slowly up. It can be sudden as did happen in July 2011 in Katla volcano caldera when earthquake activity did increase suddenly and there was an small eruption without an warning. " [link to hisz.rsoe.hu]

It is a little aside from a theme, bur very funny [link to volcanocafe.wordpress.com] Involcans Presidente for Life, Nemesio P&#233;r&#233;z, has discovered the Final Solution to the problem with Bob the Volcano. In a stroke of genius, he has discovered that you can use everything coming out of Bob in a Volcano Vaporizer to get magmatically stoned.After the discovery he is believed to have said; “I see things in a new light, holy basalt dude!”Nemesio discovered the Volcanic Vaporizer while attending a conference in an unknown dormitory at Harvard. He emediatly saw the possibility to solve all volcanic problems (and baldness) in the world with this final solution. Together with his teacher Zaphod Beeblebrox (above) he found that all samples taken from Bob was very vaporizable. In the testing all know samples from Bob was used up. It is believed that El Hierro will get an economic upswing from selling Bob material for vaporizing.

“I have found Bob to be very enjoyable. Rock on dude!” said the very happy volcanologist.Ingeniously! It is possible to expect that eruption of Katla + Hekla at once will solve all problems of an euro area

P.S. Volcan Caf&#233; is against all forms of volcano imbibing, it is bad for health, may cause excessive weight-problems, harmonic tremoring and loss of GPS-data. D.S.

" Carl le Strange says: September 8, 2011 at 12:04 It is believed that is how most volcanos start their career, and that they later on evolve into the magma-reservoired things we normally think of as volcnos.Godabunga is a volcano about to happen, not a bulge like Mt St Helens.

Godabunga is believed by Sturkell to be a part of Eyjafjallaj&#246;kull, but the evidence he gave seemed surprisingly light for being from him.Quake/time-patterning is wildly different then from either Eyja or Katla. And there are a few other things that make me doubtfull.Let us say that it can equally well be related to either Eyja or Katla, but it is probably even more likely that is a process of its own at work there. Or, as I have theorized before, that Godabunga and Fimmv&#246;rduhals is the same, and that the Eyjafjallaj&#246;kull eruption was a case of eruption triggered by the first Fimmv&#246;rduhals eruption. This is out of the isotopic difference between Fimmv&#246;rduhals and Eyjafjallaj&#246;kull.Point though is that nobody knows for shure untill Godabunga erupts" [link to www.jonfr.com]

Pardon an old woman and her eyes. I posted the 2nd webcam view to show the rainbow effect of the lighting after dark.. . which is what I saw on the Hekla webcam after dark but couldn't associate it with any other lights out there in the wilderness that would be causing the lights that were showing on Hekla's webcam after dark.
